This position may be awkward at first, and it may be a little tough to keep the penis inside the vagina. But it has the propensity to provide excellent G-spot stimulation and shallow penetration, which is perfect for women who don’t like having their cervix bumped. Both partners [lie on their sides](https://www.sexforbeginners.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/the-close-up.md), facing in the same direction. This is the part that is similar to traditional spooning. However, instead of lying head to head, one partner switches direction so they are now feet to head. He then enters her from behind. This position provides access to the [legs and feet](https://www.sexforbeginners.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/paired-feet-position.md), which in other positions are typically neglected. ![Upside Down Spooning](https://www.sexforbeginners.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Upside-Down-Spooning.jpg) Upside Down SpooningBecause it may feel like the penis keeps sliding out, she can shift the angle of her butt to make this a little easier. She can also [reach behind](https://www.sexforbeginners.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/the-lock-position.md) and grab his [butt](https://www.sexforbeginners.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/backseat-driver.md) to give the thrust some control and traction. He can try using gentle thrusts and hold on to her legs for greater support and deeper penetration. Foot fetishists take note. Those who enjoy playing with feet, or having their feet rubbed and caressed, will find Upside-Down Spooning a particularly good fit. Specifically for him, her feet will be very close to his face, so he can use his hands and mouth to kiss, massage, and lick them.
